Autographs and manuscripts collected by D. C. Everest, a Wausau, Wisconsin, paper mill executive, civic leader, and philanthropist, who became a manuscript and autograph collector as a young man and continued to participate in various purchases and sales throughout his lifetime. The collection consists of autographs, or examples of the writing, of over eighty noteworthy American, British, and Wisconsin political and cultural figures, including the autographs of most of the presidents of the United States through Dwight D. Eisenhower; and four small manuscript collections. The manuscripts consist of an account book, 1853-1860, for the Pine Grove Mills, apparently a flour mill and general store, in the Town of Pine Grove, Van Buren County, Michigan; Commonwealth of Massachusetts military records, 1789-1830, which include officer appointment, election, and dismissal records, voting affidavits, complaints, and petitions; records, 1696-1863 (primarily legal documents), of the Morse and Wheelock families of Medfield, Norfolk County, Massachusetts; and miscellaneous manuscripts, 1695-1919, consisting of legal and financial documents, letters, and appointment and other announcements from England as well as most eastern states.
